A force comprised of Ferrymen and soldiers of the Kingdom of Norland struck into territory of the Holy Orenian Empire. After eliminating a number of scouts of the ISA, the raiders invited the ISA to face them on the field of battle. The Imperial State Army refused, and the raiders were instead attacked by four hundred soldiers from the Orenian Ministry of Justice.
After a short battle in which half the Ministry forces were killed, two prominent members of the Ministry of Justice were captured. A canonist priest was given safe passage to give them their last rites, after which they were summarily hung from the bridge.
